The
game gave several positives but also gave a big negative point which is the
injury to star midfielder Francis Coquelin.

Coquelin
picked up the same knee injury as of last year, and the reports confirm that he
is expected to be out for atleast three months.

Arsene
Wenger confirmed: “He has a knee injury in the same place he had last year, that’s a
negative of the day”.

The
French midfielder was replaced by Granit Xhaka on the 60th minute.

Coquelin’s
last year knee problem sidelined him for 11 weeks and now again he is going to
miss the remainder of the first half of the season. He has now joined Per Mertesacker,
Danny Welbeck and Carl Jenkinson on the sideline, they all are long term
absentees.

Xhaka
who scored twice in the last three games for the Gunners is now going to get a
name in the starting eleven alongside Santi Cazorla.
